Chapter 1: F2000 System Description Product Overview

Product Overview

The Quantum F2000 is a high-performance, highly available and reliable storage array designed for studio editing, rendering, and other performance-intensive workloads for large unstructured data sets.
See Figure 1 for the front view of the F2000.
Figure 1 Quantum F2000 with Bezel
The F2000 uses Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) flash drives for ultra-fast reads and writes and to support a huge amount of parallel processing. In addition, the F2000 uses the latest remote direct memory access (RDMA) networking technology to provide direct access between workstations and the NVMe storage devices, to provide predictable, ultra-fast network performance. Lastly, both the software and hardware architecture are designed to be highly available.
Relative to traditional solid state drive (SSD) and hard disk drive (HDD) storage arrays, the F2000 is orders of magnitude faster, enables users to move from Fibre Channel (FC) SAN infrastructures to Ethernet infrastructures without giving up performance, and gains back racks of data center space.
Unlike other NVMe storage arrays, the F2000 was designed specifically for video and video-like data sets, so it can easily handle the performance requirements of ultra-high-def content, high-resolution images, and other forms of unstructured data.

Chapter 1: F2000 System Description

F2000 in a StorNext Shared Storage Environment

F2000 in a StorNext Shared Storage Environment
With the F2000 in a StorNext shared storage environment, users access data directly from the storage—either on the SAN or on an IP network— without the bottlenecks associated with current storage and networking technologies. The result is dramatically lower, and predictable, latencies for anyone working in Ultra High Definition (UHD) and high-frame-rate (HFR) content.
As shown in the Figure 2, client workstations and applications are able to access the NVMe storage directly through 32 Gb FC, or through 100 GbE using RDMA.
Users can add more NVMe storage by adding more F2000 arrays.

Chapter 1: F2000 System Description Quantum Cloud Storage Platform

Quantum Cloud Storage Platform

The Quantum Cloud Storage Platform is the software that powers the F2000. Quantum’s Cloud Storage Platform is a software-defined storage platform that was designed specifically for video and other large unstructured data sets.
The Quantum Cloud Storage Platform is:
Software-defined: Run on bare metal, in a virtual machine, or in the cloud. No hardware dependence.
Highly available: With capabilities that include active/active clustering, failover, and different forms of data protection.
Tuned for low latency and fast streaming performance: Because the Quantum Cloud Storage Platform was built for video and video­like data, we’ve stripped out the data services that don’t apply to video, making the architecture more efficient and maximizing streaming performance to the storage.

F2000 and NVMe Benefits

F2000 and NVMe Benefits

So What is NVMe? At a high-level, NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a

communications standard/protocol developed specially for SSDs by a consortium of vendors that operates across the PCIe bus (hence the ‘Express’ in the name), which allows the SSD drives to act more like the fast memory that they are, rather than the hard disks they imitate.

Lighting-Fast Performance

With the ability to support massive 1000+ node render farms without data contention, support playout to multiple digital intermediaries from a single volume, or work effortlessly with uncompressed 8K content, the F2000 supports all these workflows and more. It does this by taking advantage of NVMe performance and parallelism.

Designed for the Future NVMe inherently provides direct access to storage and massive

parallelism to unlock the true performance of flash.
The F2000 also supports RDMA protocols—another networking technology that reduces network overhead, and provides direct client access to storage.
For users moving to IP-based workflows and infrastructures, the combination of these technologies will enable users to future-proof their infrastructure and accelerate their workflows in the process.

Chapter 1: F2000 System Description F2000 and NVMe Benefits

SAS Architecture vs NVMe Architecture

Figure 4 SAS Architecture vs. NVMe Architecture
In SAS architecture, all CPU-cores have to go through a single SAS HBA for storage access, which creates a central bottleneck for all I/O.
With NVMe architecture, there is no central bottleneck for I/O. Every CPU-core can talk to every device.
Refer to Figure 4 for an example of current SAS architecture compared to NVMe architecture.

F2000 Hardware Overview

The F2000 is a 2U, dual-node server with two hot-swappable canisters and up to 24 dual-ported NVMe drives. Each canister can access all 24 NVMe drives, and each canister includes processing power, memory, and connectivity specifically designed for the highest performance and availability.
See Figure 5 for an overview of the main F2000 hardware components.

Front Components

The front of the F2000 contains a drive bay that includes 24 Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Solid State Drives (SSDs).
The SSDs are numbered from 1 to 24 going left-to-right. The drive slot number is printed at the bottom of the chassis below the SSD drive assemblies (see
Figure 6 F2000 Front Components (Bezel Removed)

Rear Components

The rear layout of the F2000 includes redundant power supply units (PSUs) and redundant canisters.
The top canister and bottom canister contain the same input/output ports and the same number of PCIe slots. However, the top canister is inverted when compared to the bottom. This means that the port labeling and PCIe slot numbering is in the reverse order (from left to right) for the top canister.
See Figure 7 for more details about the component locations at the rear of the system.
